Hello :) well as promised yesterday I have a metal flower mini class to share with you.I was inspired by some flowers that Leandra of Paper Artsy had done but I didn't have the different products & tools that she had so I kind of made my own version & this is how I did it :

1. I used punches to cut out the flower shapes, 2 different sizes. (you could use punches of butterflies or similar !)I punched out flowers in both thin sheet metal (from 10 second studios, available at artist trading post of course lol )& also out of card.

2. Next I glued the metal flowers to the cardboard ones, this meant that I could curl the petals without them being too flexible so that I could use them on a project without them flattening out again or getting crushed.

3.Once they were dry I used my cuttlebug & embossing folders to give them a more textured look.
